DELUSIONAL OLD HAG.

Ok, she's really not delusional. She's just putting out what has been an ongoing Dem spin/propaganda point that assumes any cuts will come out of discretionary spending, rather than entitlements.

Under that premise, she's correct (or at least close to correct ...) SocSec/Medicare/Medicaid make up the vast majority of government spending. If those are left untouched, and the cuts come out of discretionary (esp while preserving most of the military/intelligence budget - try to google "Non-Defense Discretionary Spending" ... it's such a widespread term that you'll only get as far as "non-def" before google finishes the string for you) there's going to be very little left over for the government to "spend".

On things like cow fart studies. Or why Lesbians are fat. You know, the things that really matter ...
